Zaxby’s is kicking off 2026 with an exciting enhancement to its revered menu, introducing a new lineup of bold dry rubs along with a refreshing Peaches & Cream milkshake that promises to tantalize taste buds across the country.

This addition aims to elevate Zaxby’s legendary Chicken Fingerz™, Wings, and Fries, transforming them into a flavor-centric experience.
New Dry Rubs Lineup
The introduction of these dry rubs marks Zaxby’s commitment to satisfying flavor enthusiasts. The Garlic Parmesan rub combines savory garlic with herbs and aged parmesan for a taste that’s both rich and fulfilling. Meanwhile, the Nashville Hot rub is designed for those who crave heat, encapsulating the signature southern spice with a touch of sweetness from brown sugar and honey. Rounding out the trio is the ever-popular Lemon Pepper, known for its zesty blend of lemon and black pepper that delivers a lively punch.
What’s more, Zaxby’s is enhancing the dining experience by allowing customers to mix and match their favorite Chicken Fingerz™ and wing dishes with these exciting new flavors. Not only can meals be enjoyed with these dry rubs, but fans can also indulge in Zaxby’s signature sauces, providing a versatile range of flavor combinations for every palate.
Sweet Treat to Complement the Savory
In addition to the dry rubs, Zaxby’s is launching a Peaches & Cream milkshake, which will be available for a limited time from February 23 to April 26. This indulgent treat features creamy, hand-spun peach-flavored ice cream topped with whipped cream and a cherry. It’s a delightful way to end a flavorful meal and pays homage to Zaxby’s Southern roots.
